[Distutils] C extensions, Windows, and Fatal Python error

[Alexandre Fayolle]

Hello,

I'm running python 2.1 on win2k, and I've built an extension module using
mingw32, following the instruction in the Manual to build python21.a.

Everything worked fine, I got my windows installer, ran it, but when I try
to import the C extension, Python crashes:

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from logilab.xmldiff import maplookup
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)


>From a quick search on the net, I gather that this is caused by a wrong
python dll being loaded by the extension module, but the only python DLL I
have is python21.dll. 

Anyone got a hint ?
